Hi, i am using server-side state saving (because the environment is a portal). I noticed a high memory consumption for the view state, or exacting for the history of old view states. Now i have some questions on this:
1) Is view state history *only* for "back-Button" of the browser? 2) There is a (Weak/Soft) ReferenceMap for old view states. Theses instances comes into old generation memory. I think, the garbage collector must often clean up these objects. Is this an optimal behavior? I'm using myfaces 1.1.5. Here the old views are hold with soft references. Is this working? I found an issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1658. In 1.1.6 the ReferenceMap holds only weak values and keys. Why that?
